Turning VPNs on and off
What the status icons mean
The icon next to each VPN shows whether it is connected or its servers answer.
The icons mean:
- 1Green: connected, or when the VPN is off, the provider’s servers answer.
- 2Amber: on, but not connected yet.
- 3Red: none of its servers answer. Pick another location.
- 4Grey: Exitway cannot check. This is the case for WireGuard, and while this device itself uses a VPN, because providers block the check from inside a tunnel.
Note · Use Check again in Settings to check now. The check sends a small OpenVPN hello packet from your device to the provider’s servers listed in the console’s VPN configuration. It does not sign in.
